[GNC] GnuCash on macOS Big Sur "Finance::Quote isn't installed properly"

Fri Jan 22 17:38:08 EST 2021

I think that's what John meant in the second message he posted in this
thread re running under Rosetta2 .....

>> BigSur absolutely is supported. What's not yet available yet is a native
build for Apple Silicon, but I've found so far that the Intel build of
GnuCash works fine with Rosetta2.

>> The BigSur upgrade seems to have messed up perl; I had to reinstall F::Q
to get it working after I upgraded, but one could also set $PERL5LIB in the
environment to include
>>  the old /Library/perl/5.18 as a workaround. If you did that in a shell
rc file it would make gnc-fq-helper work from terminal but not from GnuCash
when run from LaunchServices.

>> Does F::Q work when starting GnuCash from the terminal?

>>  Regards,
>> John Ralls
